“Thank you for your service.” That simple phrase holds a deep meaning. Along with apprecia- tion, thanking someone for their service is also an acknowledgement of their dedication to a profes- sion or calling. This can also be a way to acknowledge the length of time they served. Recently, I attended Crime Laboratory Division Director William (Bill) E. Marbaker’s retire- ment. Bill served 39 1/2 years and began his career as a generalist in 1978. He specialized in toxicol- ogy in 1988, and worked his way from chemist to division director. From recommending the Patrol standardize the blood tube it used as a toxicology chemist to facilitating a merger of two separate laboratory systems and the Patrol as assistant division director, Bill was forward thinking and showed true leadership. As the division director, Bill oversaw the building of the Springfield Crime Laboratory in 2008. He also represented the Patrol on the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors’ board. During his years of service, generalists became criminalists specializing in one discipline. Laboratory equipment moved from just high-powered microscopes to the most sophisti- cated, computerized equipment available. But, with all that to his credit and to the Patrol’s benefit, he relates the story of one case early in his employment as being a pivotal moment. A moment that provided an epiphany about his work for the agency; a moment that shaped his career. In 1981, Bill was assigned the case of Trooper Dennis H. Marriott, who had been struck by a drunk driver during a traffic stop. Tpr. Marriott died on June 13, 1981, becoming the 11th member of the Patrol to die in the line of duty. As Bill and his cowork- ers examined and tested the physical evidence from this case, he realized the importance of the Crime Laboratory Division in fulfilling the Patrol’s mission of service and protection. Bill knew that where he worked was more than a job; and that cases involved life and death. How many of us have been blessed with a moment or moments where the Patrol’s Core Values or Mission truly crystalized for us? I hope every employee can recall a case, a project, a phone call, an interaction with the public, or a moment when they understood the importance of their contribu- tion to this agency. I’m sure you’ve heard more than one Patrol Command Staff member say Patrol employees are the best in state government. I agree. Our employees are truly dedicated profession- als, and I want to say, “Thank you for your service.”

January-February 2018/Patrol News 3 Nothing’s Cooler Than Helping Your Neighbors

By Public Info. Spec. III Cheryl D. Cobb, Q/PIED During the week of September 25, troopers from across the na- tion attended the 3rd Biennial Honor Guard Conference in Delaware. The local Cabela’s store donated the cooler shown in this photograph which was then outfitted with decals by a local company at no cost. Trooper IV Gabriel Macias, Highway Patrol, won the cooler at the end of the silent auction. The troopers in attendance decided to relay the cooler from Delaware to Texas as a fundraising effort for employees and members of the Texas Department of Public Safety who were affected by Hurricane Harvey. As the cooler traveled, it stopped at several Cabela’s stores to collect donations. The cooler’s journey included Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ken- tucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas. Cabela’s Retail Marketing Manager Eric Williams handled the logistics. Stand- ing with the cooler on the steps of the Waggoner Building at General Headquarters when it stopped in Missouri are: (l to r) Lt. Mike A. Halford, Q/FOB, Lt. Col. Eric T. Olson, Q/ASO, Capt. Norm A. Mur- phy, Q/FOB, Lt. Mike W. Watson, Q/ESB, and Lt. Brian L. Daniel, Q/FOB. Before the cooler left to continue its journey, these officers added a familiar door decal.

4 Patrol News/January-February 2018 Operation Bugle Boy Recognizes Lt. Satterfield By Ret. Major Dale A. Schmidt Exec. Dir., MPOA

On November 2, 2017, Shawn R. Satterfield, Q/DDCC, and other first responders from agencies located in Central Missouri were rec- ognized at the Operation Bugle Boy dinner in Jefferson City. OBB is an organization which began post 9/11 as a service project at Jefferson City and Helias high schools. Every year since, OBB has honored veterans by host- ing a dinner for 500 veterans and their guests.

Satterfield was one of those honored. Lt. Satterfield, a 22-year member of the MSHP began his career in Crawford County, before transferring to the Division of Drug and Crime Control.

By Public Info. Spec. III Cheryl D. Cobb, Q/PIED On Monday, December 11, Ser- geant Brandon M. White, Q/TND, accepted the Department of Public Safety’s Employee of the Month award for December 2017. The recognition acknowledged Sgt. White’s approach to training and the real-life impact he has on the troopers he teaches. Sgt. White is an experienced SWAT officer and a widely respected firearms/tactics instructor of nearly 16 years. He possesses a wealth of knowledge, yet constantly examines new methods and relies on a network of professionals to discover superior tactics for officers to use. During the Firearms Stress Combat course, Sgt. White departed from traditional teach- ing and practices that encouraged of- ficers to use the “V” of the driver side door as cover. Sgt.
